I really have no experience with the sport of track.  I’m surprised I don’t because according to my mom, our family does about every sport invented.  She cracks me up when she says the next sport we will pick up is “tiddlywinks.”  I don’t even know what that is, but it makes me laugh every time she says it.

Jake was selected from his grade school to participate in a relay at the Prairie Trail Middle School track meet last week.  Yay Jake!!  Based on his PE times, he qualified, along with 3 other boys and 3 other girls + alternates.  Each grade school that feeds into the PRT boundaries also did the same selection with their fifth graders and they competed in a relay.  I’m pretty sure Manchester Park took dead last but I was thrilled to be there anyway and he received a T-Shirt for participating…which Morgan took over within minutes of leaving the track.

 

Here’s his short little relay run (apparently the proper baton hand-off technique was not part of the practices!?)  You’ll see…
